Chapter 3
Question 1
Type: MCSA
When planning holistic care for a patient admitted with heart failure, what should the nurse include?
1. spiritual needs
3. daily weights
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Holistic health care is based on the concept of wellness. When planning holistic care for a patient,
the nurse needs to consider psychosocial, cultural, spiritual, and intellectual needs in addition to physical needs.
Rationale 2: Measuring intake and output meets the patient’s physical needs and would not address holistic
needs.
Rationale 3: Daily weights focus solely on the patient’s physical needs and would not address holistic needs.
Rationale 4: Ambulating with assistance focuses solely on the patient’s physical needs and would not address
holistic needs.
Global Rationale: Holistic health care is based on the concept of wellness. When planning holistic care for a
patient, the nurse needs to consider psychosocial, cultural, spiritual, and intellectual needs in addition to physical
needs. Measuring intake and output, daily weights, and ambulating with assistance focus solely on the patient’s
physical needs and would not address holistic needs.
Question 2
Type: MCSA
A patient tells the nurse that he has been fortunate since he has never experienced any major illnesses and has
enjoyed good health without much effort. How should the nurse realize this patient is defining “good health?”
2. effortless
3. fortunate
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The patient is defining “good health” as being the absence of disease since he states being fortunate
for not experiencing any major illnesses and not expending much effort to do so.
Rationale 2: The nurse has no way of knowing if the patient believes “good health” is effortless.
Rationale 3: The nurse has no way of knowing if the patient believes “good health” is effortless.
Rationale 4: An integrated method of functioning is the definition of wellness which the patient is not describing.
Global Rationale: The patient is defining “good health” as being the absence of disease since he states being
fortunate for not experiencing any major illnesses and not expending much effort to do so. The nurse has no way
of knowing if the patient believes “good health” is effortless. An integrated method of functioning is the definition
of wellness which the patient is not describing.
A patient tells the nurse that he often is concerned with his declining mobility status even though he continues to
experience no major health issues. When planning care according to the wellness framework, what should the
nurse include for this patient?
4. activities to help the patient cope with the decline in mobility status
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Providing care based on a framework of wellness facilitates active involvement by both the nurse
and the patient in promoting, maintaining, or restoring health. Because the patient is concerned with declining
mobility status, the nurse should include interventions to help restore this status for the patient.
Rationale 2: Activities to promote the current level of functioning would not support wellness care.
Rationale 3: Providing suggestions to maintain the patient’s current mobility status would not support wellness
care.
Rationale 4: Helping the patient cope with the decline in mobility status would not support wellness care.
Global Rationale: Providing care based on a framework of wellness facilitates active involvement by both the
nurse and the patient in promoting, maintaining, or restoring health. Because the patient is concerned with
declining mobility status, the nurse should include interventions to help restore this status for the patient.
Activities to promote the current level of functioning, providing suggestions to maintain the patient’s current
mobility status, and helping the patient cope with the decline in mobility status would also not support wellness
care.
